You People are NUTS

Ok, wow. Oh my goodness. After 103 comments I think I kinda have to post.

SO I'M BACK!!!!!

Hmm weird, I think I just heard someone gasp....hahah.

Ok so here are a couple of things I learned over the summer.

1. I am absolutely terrible, horrible, atrocious, apalling, and actually frighteningly bad at LASER TAG. Yup. It's true. My youth group went after a car wash and I came in dead last. Out of 28 people. I'm not going to embarass myself further by telling you my score. I was under the illusion that I was doing really well too. Haha, I had fun though, people were trying to convince me that was the point. Psh, whatever.

2. My little darling kitty-cat is an amazing escape artist. She is the cat Houdini. Not joking. Guess which cat. Her name rhymes Fudge.

3. If you go really far, over the hill, across paths, through the woods, you find a place, that looks Lord of the Ringsy. Minus Ring Wraiths.

4. This blog is apparently loved. I have power....MUA AHAHAH.

5. I MET AYIESHA WOODS!!!!!! Some of you probably don't know who she is, but she was at the Revolve Tour that I went to with some of the girls from youth group. SHE'S NICE! I like her, and someday I'm going to be on her MySpace. (at least that's what she said when she took our picture. heehee.)

6. Hawk Nelson rocks. In case you didn't know. But I hope you did, lol. "You'll never, ever pull my leather! Not today and not forever!!!!!!"

7. I feel really old, and it's not even my birthday yet...(tomorrow =D )

8. I CAN DRIVE IN 6 MONTHS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and you totally don't have to stay off the road like Mr. O'Brien says. PSHHHHHH.

9. I won bingo this summer!!! When I was camping with Rachel the campsite has a bingo night and I actually won.

10. There will be more posts, but not everyday. haha.

So I hope all you crazy people are satisfied now. Gosh, can't you give a girl a little break? lol, jk, arrivederci.

I'm back!

Heehee. OK now that I got the "I have nothing to post" out of my system, I can actually post!! Those comments were funny though...=P
Well camp was amazing, awesome, wonderful, great and everything it always is. Jodi remembered me, which I thought was pretty sick. I really really don't have the paitence to write all about it, so go read Tori's blog, because she's the best and is writing a post for each day at camp.
I'm so excited for next summer because, drum role, I GET TO WORK AT BEREA!!!!!!!!!! Woot woot!!! Tori is too! And possible Kaeleigh. Tori and I are going to be SIT's (Staff-in-Training), and go for a staff week to "bond" (haha isn't that so great? lol) and then work for 3 camp sessions! I'm so happy, cuz I just love Berea, it's the best place in the world. Well I think. =)
So mostly since I got back I've just been chilling. I haven't posted because sometimes during the summer I really hate going on the computer. No idea why, I just don't feel like staying in one place. So sorry about the lack of posts.
Today I'm really excited because it's Ashlee's birthday party!!!! Ahhhhh!! She's a teenager, which is pretty awesome all in all. I always think she's one year older than she really is, not because I forget her age (ahha) but because she just seems older.
Also before her party we're going to the movies with this family, the Eppersons. They're from CBC, (not your church Tori, it's Meghan's church here) and I guess they came to a homeschool meeting once, but they didn't join. But there is a girl Grace's age, and girl my age, and a girl Molly's age. Freaky huh? Yeah but their mom wanted us to get to together which I think is pretty cool, cuz they live in my town and more friends is always a good thing! lol. Yeah so we're going to see Underdog. And we're leaving now, so adios!

Nothing to post

....I have nothing to post.

This post is so random, I can't think of a title

This is probably going to be my last post before I leave for camp. (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) Sorry I haven't posted all week, VBS has made me exhausted. Blah. VBS was awesome. Even though I had to get up really early, and then come home wicked tired, it was still great. I had these 2 little girls, Maylen and Annie who are sooo cute!!! Everyday they fought over who got to sit on me. Of course they never gave me the chance to say, "Well what if I don't want to be sat on?". They just sat on me anyway. =) But they're so cute. I already said that...WELL DID YOU SEE THEM?!!? Annie told me on the last day that she loved me and that she was really going to miss me. Ahhhh, yeah I'm going to say it again....So cute!!!!!

The rest of VBS was fun too, I thought Chadder was kinda dumb this year but that's ok cuz it kept my kids entertained. =) It was great seeing a lot of people from the homeschool group that I don't get to see anymore a lot. =)

My throat is all scratchy..and I'm really worried cuz it's been like this all day, so I was wondering you people, who read my blog, would pray for me? I really don't want to be sick for camp. I wait for this all year and Berea is my favorite place in the whole world, so it's really special when I get to go. =) Yeah so if you could just pray for me that'd be great.

How To Make a Cat Mad

HOW TO MAKE A CAT MAD:

(A-very-instructional-umm-thing-you-should-uh-know-for-the-future-I-guess...)

Pinch it's nose. It will then immediately become angry, stop purring, and possibly give you the cold shoulder.

Triskaidekaphobia

Word of the Day for Friday, July 13, 2007 (Yesterday)

triskaidekaphobia \tris-ky-dek-uh-FOH-bee-uh\, noun:

A morbid fear of the number 13 or the date Friday the 13th.

My only thought is this...
I hope that there isn't a lot of 13 year-old kids who have triskaidekaphobia.

The Beauty of Grace

Must make 5 more posts before July 10th....I can do it!!
These are the lyrics to Krystal Meyers song The Beauty of Grace. I just bought this song on iTunes after listening to it on Tori's iPod. I think the lyrics are so meaningful that I decided to share them!

The Beauty of Grace

Written by Krystal Meyers and Ian Eskelin (thanks Tori!)

Tell me why'd you run?

You say you’re so ashamed

Bruised and broken

Thought if I figured out the mess you made

Then I’d leave

But anywhere you are

Is never too far away

There’s freedom from your scars

The mistakes that you’ve made

Forgiven

The memories erased

Baby, that’s the beauty of grace

La de da, la de da da

Tell me what is love?

I’ll never hold you to

The things you may have done

You say you want new life

In My arms there’s mercy

So blow a kiss goodbye

To all the pain you hide

Pet pictures

Sorry the pictures took so long! My mom actually had my camera cord, no idea why.
Anway these are my darling pets, not always darling but most of the time! =)

Yesterday and Today

Yesterday was the 4th of July! I'm guessing that you all knew that already, unless you haven't look at a calender for 8 months, or you're in a coma! But I highly doubt that.

Anyway yesterday I spent most of the day at Meghan's (oooh suprised you there, didn't I?) because her family invited my family for a cookout. Well cookin, cuz it started to rain. It was fun though, Meghan's grandmother gave me this cool hat, she gave everyone a hat. She is a really cool grandmother. She's really funny too, she doesn't act a whole lot like an adult. =)

Today my mom woke me up at 6:30. She didn't try to wake me up, but I could hear her doing something loud, I actually have no idea what she was doing but it was loud! I probably just think it was loud cuz I'm a light sleeper, ha. So after that fun I watched Monk. That is a funny show. We borrowed the first season from the Lareau's, and I finished it in 2 days. It's horrible I know. Hey it was my first 2 days of summer (almost) and Meghan wasn't done yet!

I know I promised like...6 posts ago that I would post some picutures of Nudge, well, earlier I found her laying in a empty, plastic, trash can on it's side. I ran upstairs to get my camera, took about 12 pictures, then went to the computer to load them on.
....Well guess who lost her camera cord!!!!!! I'm so annoyed. How do you lose a camera cord?? Well in MY house!? I can't use my mom's cuz it's too big, and since she's hiking, I can't ask her if she put mine somewhere. So you're going to have wait longer to see Nudge. =P

Posts, Carpets, and Tuesdays. And stealing Meghan's three subject post thing...that she doesn't do anymore....

70 posts...sweet.

This is the first of 8 posts that Eric and I are writing before July 10th! Well this is my first post, I'm slightly ahead of you Eric!!! But I bet not for long, lol.

This morning this guy came over and cleaned our carpets downstairs. My house smell weird now. And the carpets are wet. I almost asked my dad, "Why did we do that again?" but I realized that if I did ask my dad, he would just start to rant about all our dirty pets. Hahah! Oh well, we love them, so we can put up with them. At least I can, I know if my dad had it his way......ehhhh. lol.

Today is new music Tuesday!! I love Tuesdays!!! And iTunes. =)

kuh-LOOD

collude \kuh-LOOD\, intransitive verb:

To act in concert; to conspire; to plot.

I'm colluding? How do you say that....?

I'm colluding to steal some chocolate from the top shelf on the cupboard! I'm hoping that all my colluding will pay off and I will find myself eating that delicious chocolate. Mmmm.

Eye See You

Today I had an eye doctor appointment. It was my yearly eye-checkup, and personally I don't see why I would need a yearly checkup, except to see if I'm going blind or something.
But I think I could tell them if I thought I was going blind. Uh yeah.

I need a new prescription anyway though, so I can understand that I needed to go. And actually, I usually need a new prescription every year, so I could also understand why my mom would make an appointment every year. But still. It's the principle of the thing!

Oh yeah, and I have astigmatism (Thank God for spellcheck!) in my left eye. That means that my left eye is not shaped like a perfect soccer ball like my right eye. The doctor's words not mine. I don't really care, I mean why would I? It's not like I'm going to go around hiding my left eye because of a little imperfection. I actually like it. I feel like my eye is unique. Strange, huh? =)

Tomorrow we might be going to Wal-Mart (The-official-store-of-America-where-you-can-get-all-the-junk-you-might-happen-to-need) to get new glasses. I always get freaked out before we go there, cause I'm afraid I'll pick a pair that look horrible on me. Maybe I'll take Meghan....or maybe not. haha.

Random thoughts

I have a cute hamster.

Wink of Death is fun. Even when I'm the first one to die...

Don't stay up until 3:30 AM. Even if you hear ghostly music...JUST DON'T!

Meghan and I had a lovely garden party and you weren't invited! (Meghan and I got crushed in a totally twisted game of Uno, so we decided to have a garden party, and not invite the ones who did the crushing.)

The sky up here (when I say up here, I mean on the hills where I live) change every 15 minutes. Or it seems like that if you aren't paying much attention.

Kickball is awesome, I think we should play it all summer, but maybe not every Friday, but I really don't care!!

I love volleyball.

Jet-Puffed marshmallows have a very strange name, and dissolve if you put them in boiling hot cocoa. And they are wonderfully delicious.

It is not weird at all to have hot cocoa in the summer. IT'S JUST NOT!!

I want to learn how to play the drums.

I miss my couch, because my parents moved it down into the basement. It's just not cool!

Summer is the best time of the year.

Batman Begins is a awesome movie.

Ok random thoughts are done! I just thought I should post. =)

Fang

Ok ok! I AGREE!!!! Fang is totally and completely real. I'm apologizing to Fang, wherever the heck he is, that I ever said that I didn't think that he lived and breathed oxygen. That he eat pizza and ice cream, like every other teenager in the world, that I didn't believe that maybe, just maybe he listened to music, and watched Lost. No idea if he watches Lost, but whatever.
So I'm sorry ok!?

...NOW LEAVE ME ALONE!!!! =P

I really think though, THAT I NEVER SAID HE WASN'T ALIVE. People seem to remember a lot more than I do apparently.

Tori is brilliant

Tori showed me this weekend how to post a video!!!! I love Tori. =)

Here's the speech again, just in case you weren't really listening, and were just watching the clip...like I was...aha.

Frodo: I can't do this, Sam.

Sam: I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something.

Frodo: What are we holding onto, Sam?

Sam: That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo... and it's worth fighting for.

My weekend

Friday was kickball!!! Kickball was fun, I lost, again, but that's ok cuz I had a lot of fun! I caught an "Eric ball" (that's what everyone's calling it...), and Zachoia (pretty sure that's how you spell it) followed me around the whole game and held my hand. Man Eric, you have the cutest little sister. =)
There was also youth group!!! Always love youth group. We played ultimate football which is different, but fun. (has anyone else noticed that everything is fun in this post??) The guys on my team would not pass it to any of the girls (Brianna, Robin, Karoline and myself), so we decided to show them, and we got 2 points on our own. I think 2 points, not sure.

Saturday (today) Meghan and I went to Tori and Ashlee's soccer game!! They had two games today, one at 8 and another one at 1. I only went to the one o'clock game cuz they played in Waltham (weird name) which is an hour and like 15 minutes away. They one the first game, and tied the second. Just to let you know, THEY ROCK!!!! Tori made some awesome kicks, and Ashlee is like the greatest soccer player, but unfortuantly she didn't get to show off her amazing skills because she pulled a leg muscle. =) But still, they were both marvelous.
Then after the game, Meghan and I went to go see Fantastic Four: Rise of The Silver Surfer. It was so awesome!!!!!!!!!!!! My mom thought we were getting ripped off by the prices of the tickets cuz the movie is only and hour and 30 mintues long, but we didn't think so because 1) it was awesome!!!!!!!!!!! and 2) it felt much longer. I must say it again, AWESOME MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Favorite part of LOTR

This is a quote from Lord of The Rings: The Two Towers. It's my favorite quote in the entire trilogy because it's just so powerful and beautiful. It's soo much better if you can actually watch it because of the emotion, music and the scenery. Go here to watch the clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEMdXhfO-Wk
I can't put the clip on my blog because my computer is soooo incrediably annoying, and it won't let me make an account or login at YouTube. I NEED A LAPTOP HERE PEOPLE!!!! Anyway, here's the quote. I suggest reading it, and then watching the clip.

Frodo: I can't do this, Sam.
Sam: I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were.

I love Sam!!! He's so awesome! Tell me what you think! Even you haven't seen the movies, it still rocks.

Nudge

For anyone who doesn't know...we have a kitten in the house. A little gray fluffy kitten. Meghan and I dubbed her Nudge. Nudge is a character in a series (of books) that we love, Nudge is a orphan, who doesn't stop talking and whom everyone loves. Nudge the kitten is an orphan, who never stops purring (and at times mewing), and whom everyone, loves. =) I love her so much!! She's so affectionate and loveable! Not to mention tiny. My sister and my mom found her beside our church, she was following them and meowing patheticly cuz she was so hungry. We don't know yet if we're keeping her, but my mom and I are 99% sure we are, cuz we just came back from the vet (she's perfectly heathly by the way), and the cost of having another pet around was part of why my dad didn't want to keep her. So for right now, we're just taking it one day at a time. =) Pictures soon!

Posting and school

Well since it is apparently a big deal whether I post or not, I am posting!!! I have nothing to post about but I guess some people don't care, they just want to see that I still remember that I have a blog. Which btw, having to do with your comment John, I actually did remember I had a blog!!! ...I just felt lazy. =D I deserve to be lazy because, drum roll please.....I'm done with my school for the year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yippee!!!!! Uh I mean....Woohooo!!!!!!!! I also am done my testing, so all I have left is to finish up an essay I'm working on and then it's summertime!!!!! Just and interesting point, my essay is arguing that home schooling is better than public schooling. =D It's not very hard to find really great things about homeschool when you know alllll about Pelham High. haha. I hope no one goes there who reads this blog...ahhh. I'm sure that Tori will have fun at LCA next year though!!! It's a private school not a public. lol.

My computer (grrrrrr)

I hate my computer. Yeah, I'm not afraid to say it!!
My computer is absolutely evil, and it's only 4 years old!!! So yeah, in like 5 years it should be evil and broken but it just had to turn on me now!!!!!!!!
Huh, yeah, NOT CRAZY!!!!
Seriously. Like Tori, I've been trying to email you for a very long time and my computer won't let me send any emails! So I'm not ignoring you by the way. =D
It won't let me make accounts on websites anymore, thankfully it still lets me log in to places...well sometimes. I'm surprised I can still blog!!!!
AND it's takes an eternity to load stuff. Even just like regular webpages and stuff!!
My dad says that it's all the kids faults (the kids that live here), but he always says that. Pshhh.
If I don't blog for a very very very very long time (and I mean like longer than I have not blogged before) then you'll know my computer has commited murder apon those who pesercute it...........that'd be me y'all. =P
